oh my gosh a whole week????

Surely I have updated in a week!?!?! This can't be TRUE.
oh heavens. no wonder I am losing my faithful readership right and left.

i have so much work to do to spruce this little place up.

tired of it. know it can be so much cuter, even if it IS blogger. gotta work at that!

Anyways - why is it that when the weather outside is ungodly freezing (we are supposed to reach a HIGH temp today of 6. SIX WHOLE DEGREES. For all my tropical friends, that is FRICKING A COLD.) - anyways , the weather is freezing and i just want to hibernate. I do not want to DO a thing. I feel like I am moving through jello. and i have even had two mochas today. No wonder bears just call it a season and curl up in a cave. They got the right idea fo shizzle.

So.....
going to attempt to figure out the web pic thing.....

Coming up in two short weeks will be Miss Kealey's 4th birthday. Think back to your birthdays - do you remember your fourth? I do, my hubby does, most people I have asked do. Why is this?
Well anyways - since it is a memorable birthday for whatever reason, I really want to do it cute.
But two hundred dollars for the ULTIMATE birthday party kit???? Yikes.
Convince me to do it. I mean, this is one AWESOME Tinkerbell party, don't get me wrong. But I just dropped a LARGE chunk O change on the girls' portraits. I cannot wait to get them back. Totally sobbing through the whole photographer's presentation slideshow of all the pics of the girls. I can't even begin to describe it to you so I won't. Just prepare to be blown away on the 11th or thereabouts of March when I get them back!

So anyways - on top of that money, and the taxes still being screwed up (I don't think I blogged about that, but basically my tax statement reflects about $17K more than I actually made. Just a simple mathematical error I a sure! grrrrrrrr) - I just - can't quite bring myself to do it. But you all know how suggestable I am!!!
Make me want to do it! Cause I want to cave and do it really bad.

What else....
Hmmm this cold is freezing my brain. So I have had to do like THREE All About Me pages in the last 72 hours. I am getting REAL sick of scrapping myself. But - here they are, since these are like the only layouts I have produced lately! And I have so much cute new stuff between the Shabby Shoppe re=open and some new stuff from Gina and a few other fave designers!!!
GRRRR - When will I get time to just sit and scrap when I want to???????

So this first one is for Digi Scrap Divas - YES - I was asked to be on the CReative Team there! I am SOOOOO excited about this opportunity! I love that place And now to be part of the team that helps make it what it is???? TOOOO much fun! Had to slap this one together entirely too fast for my liking. So there is something off about it, but not quite sure what. Probably my picture - HA HA HA. Anyways. this is the January Mega Kit from all the DSD Designers An absolutely huge kit with all my fave colors. Could not love this kit more. This one on top of the awesome Digi Chick New Designers one, on TOP of the like thirty five Valentine's kits I bought (Heather Ann anyone???) - good lord. I shoulda taken at least a full card (500+) pics of Valentines pics. Alas I did not. Guess I will have to find Valentiney type crap to scrap about!


This one was for JAn Crowley's team. Now I just love this girl. She is so cute and genuine and hello - you would never in a hundred years guess the chick had just had a baby. I mean like, 48 hours before. She amazes me. So anyways, she asked us to do a page about ten things we love about ourselves. I realize the journaling is suckily small. So here is a link to the page at TDC, so all you snoop scrappy dogs can read it. *cause let's admit it - the only reason we buy scrap magazines is to read the sordid journaling on everyone else's page*
And lastly - I guess this one wasn't required. And I did it BEFORE I HAD to do these other two. I just needed to get some stuff out of my head and onto paper. And I used this paper I designed myself *i had some help*. It is nothing noteworthy, but I LOVE how it turned out, and it just fit my page so perfectly.
This one isn't posted anywhere else, cause it was just sort of a page for me and my blog. Whatever. It is somewhat inspirational to me. I am thinking about printing it out and sticking it here by the computer, cause it reminds me to focus.

And yes I am now officially sick of looking at my own mug here on my blog.


Anyways.

got some good paper scrapping stuff the last few days. at TARGET of all places. Cute cute monogram magnets in the dollar spot. And tons of other cute magnets. My office magnet boards from Ikea are now plastered with cute magnets. Are they helping me organize in any way shape or form? No, but they LOOK darn cute! If anyone sees an excess of "K" monogram magnets could you pick me up some and send them my way? I will gladly paypal you!
I also got some new foam alpha and heart flower stamps from making memories along with a cute paint set at target last nite, then went to a special Archiver's event this morning and got fifty more dollars worth of paper crap to add to my collection. I might even use it someday. Someday when it isn't twenty below zero in my basement scrap area.

I am sitting here freaking out over having to clean the house for our company tomorrow nite, so I should sign off and get on that.

Hopefully I will be better this week about updating and will scrap some NON - ME pics soon to get these ones outta here!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Come to Gina's chat tonite at SBB - be there or be square!!!! You do'nt wanna miss winning one of her AWESOME new paper cd's!!!!

Check you all later!!!
